PITTSBURGH and surrounding areas. Scenery Designed by Daniel Waskie Compuserve 102711,1757 This scenery covers a 35 square mile area. YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. __________________________________________________ WELCOME TO PITTSBURGH __________________________________________________ Pittsburgh produces more steel than any other city in the world. Flames from its great steel furnaces cast a red glow across the sky that may be seen miles away. The sight is especially spectacular at night, and has given Pittsburgh the nickname of the "Hearth of the Nation." Both the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River at Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh, we call it the "Golden Triangle." Pittsburgh is our nation's largest river port. It handles over 54 million tons of freight a year along its 27 miles of waterfront. Much of the coal, iron ore, and other heavy freight comes on long boat tows, usually made up of a dozen flat barges. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Pittsburgh was designed to be a stand-alone scenery. If you have ISSEast you must delete the Pittsburgh International Airport from ISSEast. If you have FS5.1CD, you must take the CD out of the player before choosing Pittsburgh from the AIRPORT selection. Take the CD out of the carriage before starting FS5 is how I do it. Perhaps someone will make an exclude file for this program so you don't have to do this. Leaving the CD in the carriage will automatically, via of its program, add another Pittsburgh airport to the area. You'll end up with two mismatched airports with conflicting nav aides. This scenery was designed using the FS5.1CD program, without the CD in the player, without the booster. It's simple, to use this scenery just don't have another Pittsburgh airport loaded.....! Man, was that long. ENHANCEMENT CHARACTERISTICS: This scenery includes three different airports in the Pittsburgh area. You should choose "International RW 10C" as your starting point to become familiar with the program. RW 10C has been made the active runway, contains dynamic scenery, and houses the 3 Rivers Airways Ramp and hanger area. Upon choosing any starting airport, be sure to TURN ON YOUR DYNAMIC SCENERY......!!! If you don't see any dynamic scenery right away, you will by the time you return to PIA. NAV AIDS: Communications/twr/atis 119.10 mhz (preset) VOR at International 110.00 mhz (preset nav1) ILS RW 28C 110.30 mhz (preset on nav2) ILS RW 10C 111.70 mhz (not preset) NIGHT FLYING: Pittsburgh takes on a VERY special characteristic at night. Special night colors were used to represent a visual experience at dusk, dawn, and at night. You'll enjoy Pittsburgh just as much by planning to fly in or out at night. Check out the red hue from the smokestacks, the lighted stadium with all the people, and Point State Park. All airports are lighted with either strobes or flashers. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Install files that end with .bgl into your fltsim5\scenery directory. 2) Install all files that end with .oav into your fltsim5\texture directory. NOTE: If your computer tells you that a texture file already exists on your hard drive, just delete the one included with this file, you already have what is needed. OTHER STUFF: I hope you enjoy flying Pittsburgh. I just love it. I invite you to share this scenery with your friends as long as no fee is charged. I'm just about finished creating Pittsbugh during a snowy winter to go with this file. Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Airport 117 and Scasm were used to create this file.
